The Decree stipulates general standards applicable to leadership and management positions of civil servants, including: Standards on political ideology; standards on ethics, lifestyle, sense of organization and discipline; standards on qualifications; standards on capacity and prestige; standards on health, age, and work experience.
The Decree also specifies standards for each leadership and management position of civil servants under ministries, general departments and specialized agencies under provincial and district People's Committees.
Deputy Minister must have objective and comprehensive viewpoint.
It clearly states that the position of deputy minister is a deputy of the minister, head of a ministerial-level agency, assisting the minister in leading, directing, and managing one or several sectors, fields, and specialized areas of work as assigned by the minister; responsible to the minister and before the law for assigned duties and tasks.
Deputy Ministers must meet the general standards applicable to leadership and management positions. In addition, Deputy Ministers must have an objective, comprehensive, and dialectical perspective; have a deep understanding of the law, state management of the industry, management field, and international practices.
This position must also have the capacity to: Advise on planning strategic issues for industry and sector development; direct the development and effective implementation of legal documents, topics, projects, programs, and annual and term work plans of the industry and sector; direct or directly resolve difficult and complicated issues in the industry and sector.

Some special cases apply title standards when appointing
The Decree also stipulates a number of special cases where title standards are applied when appointing. Specifically, in the case of appointing personnel from outside sources, it is not necessary to ensure the standards of having experienced a position, leadership title, or management position at a direct subordinate position at the agency, organization, or unit expected to be appointed.
In case a deputy minister or deputy head of a ministerial-level agency is appointed to hold an equivalent position or title or concurrently hold another position or title, it is not necessary to fully meet the standards of the equivalent position or title or concurrently hold another position or title.
In case of working in the armed forces, public service units, state-owned enterprises or other agencies and organizations in the political system, being mobilized or appointed to hold leadership or management positions or titles in state administrative agencies, they must meet the standards and conditions prescribed in this Decree, but do not have to immediately meet the standards on state management as prescribed for the position or title expected to be appointed.
In these cases, the standards must be completed within 12 months from the date of appointment decision.
This Decree takes effect from May 1, 2024.
